Overlapping to fix in my table of contents

Question

In my table of contents, I observe that headings numbers nearly overlap titles of sections, as illustrated below.

What could I do to solve that? This is a MWE (a little bit long because I don't know exactly if I did not make any mistake) :

\documentclass[fontsize=12pt,%
               twoside=semi,%
               headings=small,%
               chapterprefix=true,%
               listof=flat]%
{scrbook}

Your document is empty, there is nothing to overlap then ;-) — user31729, Jun 11 '17 at 11:43

@domi Well, typically people here expect that you provide a minimal and yet complete example code so that it's easy to help and that there is less chance of misunderstanding. See tex.stackexchange.com/questions/296545 for example. — Dr. Manuel Kuehner, Jun 11 '17 at 11:47

The KOMA-Script classes load package tocbasic automatically. So it should be used to format the ToC and its entries. (Do not use tocloft! And package tocstyle will never leave the beta status, AFAIK it is not developed anymore.)

There are different ways to avoid the overlapping.

You could use option toc=flat:

\documentclass[fontsize=12pt,%
               twoside=semi,%
               headings=small,%
               chapterprefix=true,%
               listof=flat,%
               toc=flat,% <- added
              ]%
{scrbook}[2017/01/03]

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage [french]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{mathptmx}

\usepackage{blindtext}% only for dummy text
\usepackage[marginparsep=8pt,left=3cm,right=3cm,top=3cm,bottom=3cm]{geometry}

\usepackage{scrlayer-scrpage}

\usepackage{hyperref}

\setcounter{tocdepth}{\subsubsectiontocdepth}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{\subsubsectionnumdepth}
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\thepart}{\Roman{part}}}

\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\tableofcontents
\mainmatter
\part{Une partie}
\blindtext
\blinddocument
\setcounter{chapter}{33}% only for the example
\chapter{Un chapitre}
\blindtext
\setcounter{section}{17}% only for the example
\section{Une section}
\blindtext
\setcounter{subsection}{13}% only for the example
\subsection{Une sous-section}
\blindtext
\setcounter{subsubsection}{10}% only for the example
\subsubsection{Une sous-sous-section}
\blindtext
\end{document}

Run three times to get

Or you could use \RedeclareSectionCommands[tocdynnumwidth=true]{...}:

\documentclass[fontsize=12pt,%
               twoside=semi,%
               headings=small,%
               chapterprefix=true,%
               listof=flat,%
              ]%
{scrbook}[2017/01/03]
\RedeclareSectionCommands[tocdynnumwidth=true]
  {chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection}% <- added

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage [french]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{mathptmx}

\usepackage{blindtext}% only for dummy text
\usepackage[marginparsep=8pt,left=3cm,right=3cm,top=3cm,bottom=3cm]{geometry}

\usepackage{scrlayer-scrpage}

\usepackage{hyperref}

\setcounter{tocdepth}{\subsubsectiontocdepth}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{\subsubsectionnumdepth}
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\thepart}{\Roman{part}}}

\begin{document}

\subsection{Une sous-section}
\blindtext
\setcounter{subsubsection}{10}% only for the example
\subsubsection{Une sous-sous-section}
\blindtext
\end{document}

Run three times to get

Or you can adjust numwidth manuelly using **\RedeclareSectionCommand[tocnumwidth=...]{...}:

\documentclass[fontsize=12pt,%
               twoside=semi,%
               headings=small,%
               chapterprefix=true,%
               listof=flat,%
              ]%
{scrbook}[2017/01/03]
\RedeclareSectionCommand[tocnumwidth=2em]{chapter}% <- added
\RedeclareSectionCommand[tocnumwidth=3em]{section}% <- added
\RedeclareSectionCommand[tocnumwidth=4.1em]{subsection}% <- added
\RedeclareSectionCommand[tocnumwidth=5.3em]{subsubsection}% <- added

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage [french]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{mathptmx}

\usepackage{blindtext}% only for dummy text
\usepackage[marginparsep=8pt,left=3cm,right=3cm,top=3cm,bottom=3cm]{geometry}

\usepackage{scrlayer-scrpage}

\usepackage{hyperref}

\setcounter{tocdepth}{\subsubsectiontocdepth}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{\subsubsectionnumdepth}
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\thepart}{\Roman{part}}}

\begin{document}

As you're using a KOMA-Script class you should not use tocloft. tocloft should give you a warning if you load it with KOMA.

Usually you're done with toc=flat. But you should consider to compile multiple times.

Another option: tocstyle, which is currently (and probably forever) beta, is part of the KOMA bundle.

@esdd You're right, toc=flat was the option. – TeXnician Jun 12 '17 at 4:57
